How to reach

 

Advanced Instructional School on Numerical Linear Algebra is being organised in Guwahati during the December 2010 and is funded by NBHM.

Reaching IIT Guwahati: 

Location 

The Institute can be reached by road, rail or air. Since it is located on the outskirts of the city of Guwahati, it is well connected to other parts of the country by road, rail or air.
